Let's Catch Up! There is so much to share with you!

New Bird Studio has been moving at a beautiful pace this season, and I’m excited to share some of the work that’s been happening behind the scenes. Over the past few weeks, I’ve covered historic community events, built two art installations, led Branding + Lifestyle & Headshot Workshops, introduced my Limited Holiday Package, and highlighted a client doing meaningful work. Recent assignments included Sacramento’s new sister-city relationship with Morelia, time with civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, the first scoop on Mai Vang’s run for Congress, the 700th year of Tenochtitlan celebration, and a New Bird Studio client feature benefiting Alzheimer’s. Let’s dive in, here’s a look at the journey so far.

This season has been especially meaningful for me. It reminds me why I do this work: connecting communities, honoring stories, and helping businesses and individuals share their voices in ways that feel authentic and strategic. Every workshop, assignment, and client collaboration is a chance to bring clarity, creativity, and impact together. I’m grateful for the trust that allows me to show up fully and excited for what’s ahead as we continue to grow and elevate our work together. Stay tuned for ways to expand your story into full campaigns in the new year.

Let's get straight to business! Introducing a Limited Holiday Package!

As we close out the year, this is the moment for business owners to invest in their growth, strengthen their visibility, and set the stage for a stronger 2026. The holidays are not the time to go quiet - this is when your audience is watching, when year-end write-offs matter most, and when preparing ahead gives you the advantage instead of playing catch-up. Investing in high-quality visuals, branding, and strategic storytelling now is one of the smartest moves you can make, especially if you’re rebuilding, expanding, or taking control after a tough year.

To support that momentum, New Bird Studio is offering a Holiday Momentum Package: a 45-minute strategy session + a streamlined brand photoshoot + 10 polished marketing images for $495 (normally $750). It’s designed for entrepreneurs leveling up, launching something new, or stepping into the next chapter with clarity and confidence. Let’s set you up ahead of the curve - visibly, strategically, and ready to grow.

Ready to elevate your brand before the year ends?  Email me directly at info@newbirdstudio.com or simply click the button below and I’ll get back to you. Let’s set you up with your Holiday Momentum Package and make sure your business starts 2026 ahead of the curve.

Next Edition:

Client Highlight: Shift Change exterior signage

and

Art Installation: This fall has been one of my most meaningful seasons yet. I was invited by the Consulate General of Mexico in Sacramento for the 4th year to create and build 2 ofrendas (altars) for Día de Muertos - one was for the Latino Center of Art and Culture’s El Panteón and the other at the Consulate General of Mexico building in Natomas.

Both installations honored Tenochtitlán, the heart of Mexico City, and were inspired by the connection between ancestry, identity, and place. It was my fourth year collaborating with the Consulate’s Art and Culture department, and each time the experience deepens my understanding of what these traditions mean in our modern lives.
